Are tweaks a necessity?
Synergy Acoustics 'Acoustic Art'Originally Posted by Macca
They are actually really well know in the ultra tweaks world.
It's a whole range of little bowl things (about the size of a stamp) on wooden brackets that you are supposed to put all over your room, on the walls, the windows etc - as usual with such ideas the more the better. You sometimes see rooms at shows using them - they are supposed to improve the acoustics/environment in some way.

The same reasons people want to expose quack doctors, "mystics" conning people into thinking they're talking to dead loved ones, the "Uri Gellers" of this world, false scientific theory, "fake news" etc etc. Long may they be rubbished!

Where we differ. If folk want to spend their dough on these things then fine. Better than pissing it up against a wall

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I'm not much on tweaks, and on the few that have caught my interests, I've been able to experiment on my own well enough to know if they make a difference worth noting. I've always felt that if there was anything to these tweaks, the engineers making equipment would be including them in their designs. If cryogenically freezing equipment really made it sound better, wouldn't every hi end company have a freezer?

Why? Both are either a complete waste of money or something that gives the consumer a sense of well-being, depending on one's perspective.
I've done the tweakery stuff, albeit nothing too wacky or expensive. I can't remember the last time I pissed up against the wall.

Also, wouldn't the burn-in counteract the freezing? You'd have melting electrons all over the place.

This is a common response, but I have a fundamental problem with it. If folk want to spend their dough having been made aware of the pros and cons of doing so, then that's fine.
Unfortunately this isn't always the case, so I think it's imperative that all views are presented in order that an informed decision can be made.
